Priebus on healthcare: 'Everything's on the table'

White House chief of staff Reince Priebus on Sunday said that all options are on the table for future negotiations on healthcare following the failure of Republican attempts to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

Priebus said the administration welcomes proposals from the other side of the aisle and that “Democrats can come to the table as well.”

“And it would be nice to get some Democrats on board. But you’re right, at the end of the day, I think it’s time for the party to start governing,” Priebus said.

Priebus also denied reports that his job is in jeopardy following the healthcare plan’s failure.

“I’m not in any trouble,” he told host Chris Wallace.

Republicans, including Trump, campaigned on the promise to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Conservative lawmakers criticized the GOP proposal for not cleanly repealing the original healthcare legislation.

But Priebus said Republicans can’t look for the perfect legislation.

“We can’t be chasing the perfect all the time. Sometimes you have to take the good, and put it in your picket and take the win,” Priebus said.
